Is it me, or has the week gone really really slowly ??????

I said this to Jonathan and he said 'nope its gone quickly'!

But not to me.. i think perhaps because last week we were all sick but i had so much to do, i was run off my feel all week.

So i promised myself this week i was going to relax and not too much, which i have done, but its probably made the week drag - which isn't a bad thing, we have had a lovely week.

Monday we had music class.. then after that we stayed home, that was nice, didn't do much at all- think i may have stripped the bed and washed and dried the sheets.. also put a couple loads of washing on, but thats easy enough to do, so thats all on Monday.

Tuesday - i usually go to a Playgroup that is about 20 mins drive away, and a story time before hand but andit runs from 10am  i have to leave at 9.15ma to get a parking spot and runs till 12. 30pm so i dont get home till 1pm at best, its a big morning..as i was having a lazy week i decided not to go to that, went to another little group run by a couple of playgroup mum friends, so headed there and its literally 5 mins from home for me, runs for an hour and half and morning tea and activites are provided so that was fantastic, kids loved it.

home for 11.30am and put Greta to bed, then we had to wait in for the carpet cleaning guy who was coming to clean 2 of our 4 couches (other 2 are leather so i can do them myself).
Think i did a little more washing and ironing.

Then Wednesday, i walked up to Playgroup, dropped a toy car on my foot and have a huge golf ball sized lump that throbs on my foot!
Took Greta's little bike and walked up there with them.. its only a 10 min walk at best, we were there first so opened  up and got all the toys out the shed.
After it finished about 12, we decided to stroll over to the park on the way home and sitting there on the top of the charity bin - those bins that you put your unwated clothes in, there was this fantatic looking wooden pirate ship, a really big one.. so i thought id grab it and bring it home for Miles and Greta  - now i know that sounds bad, but i thought it was put there as it was way too big to fit in the bin, and all that would happen is it would go to a local thrift shop to be sold and, well, i wanted it for the kids and i actually donate to that charity, i also sponser a child through them too, the Smith Family it was and i sponser a little boy.. so i thought id just give a little extra when i donated money next time to them..

So i got it home, kids LOVE it, but then jonathan comes home and says, ahh but are you sure it was meant for the charity bin, perhaps it was just put there buy a mum who had a kid who was being naughty so she took it off him for 10 mins and forgot about it and left it, or perhaps someone put it there while they loaded the kids in the car and then forgot about it...

So then i felt terrible for taking it...

But really, im pretty sure it was meant just for the charity bin.  i live in an area thats really wealthy and the surrounding suberbs are too, so i cant imagine anyone would want to sell their kids old toys on e-bay or anything like that - like i do *blush* they would just dump it in the garbage or charity bin, so im pertyt sure it was that.. so i feel a bit better, and i will give more to the charity when i donate to them  - whats the difference between that and going to the thrift store and buying it anywa.. nothing right!
It was clearly left there as a 'free to good home' i thought.

Anyway so we walked home and then i thought Jonathan was coming home early, i kind of planned my day around it, did a bit more washing and stuff and had a clean of the house and expected him to be home at 5pm at the latest as he had borrowed my car and was out at Windsor for work all day, i assumed he would come straight home from there, never imagined he'd drive all the way back into the city at 5pm but he did!!

SO i rang him a little cross and yelled at him - bogan i know! then felt bad, cos the guy works such long days and i know he is really into her career so i felt bad and appologied, he's at work 6.30am - 8.30pm usually during the week - im home with the kids, thats fine i know and it works well, i just had it in my mind he would come home - but instead he drove all the way into the city at 5pm!

But bless him, he felt bad and came home early!

So got to see the kids for 15 mins before bed, and they NEVER get to see their Daddy during the week so they were so so thrilled, i have the cutest pic of Greta sat on his knee looking so loved up :)
she literalyl ran to the door yelling Daddy Daddy, so so excited :)

Pic of Greta eating her breakfast in my bed this morning while i had a shower:


Then today, story time at the library and then went to the park with a friend, and her 2 girls, that was lovely - the went out to lunch and i then headed home via the supermarket - did the weekly shop..

Came home and started on the baking of 30 cupcakes with green icing for Miles' Preshcool friends for tomorrow!

So yeah, great week but so slow..

Oh and Greta has conjunctivitis again, poor love, its ALL the time that she has it, i think i have a little, my eye is so sore -she must be so sick of it.

Oh almost forgot - she did  a poo in the potty! shes only 22 months im so proud!  She told me she wanted to poo, and i grabbed the potty and she poo'd !!! so so clever :)

Hubby is home now, so all for now.
